6600gt RAM Sinks

[Ramedge]

ive currently got a xfx 128mb 6600GT, i stuck an artic cooler on it (rev 2 - i think) so i could overclock it abit which is fine i can get the gpu core up to 600mhz and runs fine but i cant really overclock the RAM because i dont have any heatsinks for the RAM modules, can any one suggest any that fit on a 6600gt with an artic cooler on?

I take it that the AC for the 6600GT doesn't cover the memory like the 6800 version does?

Both OCZ and Zalman sell heatsinks for GPU memory.

I think i've seen them for sale on www.overclockers.co.uk and www.overclock.co.uk.

Hope that helps

OCZ makes awesome copper BGA ramsinks, I have them on both of my cards and love them.

with ramsinks do you need thermal adhesives or do they have them preset onto them?

They would normally come with the sticky pads.

thats fair enough then

The sticky pads blow mad goats though... I recommend using some arctic adhesive to permanently adhere them to your vid cards IC's. Unless you think you may have a need to take them off some day then just make sure that you've cleaned the tops of the IC's with alcohol so that the thermal pads stick well. I've personally had problems with the pads, I'll be surfing the internet and hear a "clank!" in my case, look on the case floor and one of the ramsinks just fell off, rofl. I now go the permanent route

My dad has them on his 9800 Pro @ XT. Works awesome. Even used stock adhesive.

These are pretty sweet and stick them on with some acrtic adhesive

Personnally I've not found any massive difference when using RAM sinks, but that was on my old ATI cards........... 9600 years ago, and my 9800 pro last year somewhen (before Series 6 Geforce cards )

Some are better than others, if you find a particular brand, put the name of it in google i.e. 'xxxRAMsinknamexxx review' and you should find what your looking for
